Record Store Day 2015 Spotlight: Independent Records &
Video

The
popularity of Record Store Day can
be attributed to the strengthening of the independent
record store business and actually seeing new stores
open up again. The Music Business Association
is highlighting participating stores from around the
nation.

The excitement factor that drives
people into our stores for these releases is bigger than
Christmas, and hopefully once they are in one of our stores
they dig what we do and decide to come back on a regular basis.

What makes your store special?

Independent Records does RSD scavenger style – not that we hide
product or anything, we just spread all 400+ releases
throughout the store in a way that customers have to really
search out whatever they’re looking for.

We’ve
always had local bands play (because in our market that’s
what’s available) and we try to offer some sort of refreshment
and/or snack to the folks hanging out for the music.

What’s your favorite Record Store Day exclusive
release?

I love the Side By Side series from WMG! The
Cure/Dinosaur Jr & Misfits/Lemonheads and I could go
on and on…
